RailroAd Notes.

The severe snow storm Of yesterday
extended along the entire line, and In
consequence no trains were run last
night bel ween Mandan and Missoula.
The west bound freight due here Mon
day morning was stuck in the snow
NEAR Terry yesterday and the latest
heard from her WAS that she had been
tied up there waiting for the storm 10
subside. The east bound passenger 10
tied up at Missoula and the west bolnd
at Maudan. The west bound psssen-
ger that left here yesterday morniLgi s
reported to have been derailed near
Park City by a broken rail and 1t was
thought that a track would have TO Ne
built Ground it before any trains could
pass. The most severe portion OF the
storm seem to extend along the line
between Mandan and Helena.

More stock Yard. at st. Paul.

The recent visit Of Phil. Armour to
st. Paul, which was noted by the
JOURNAL as indicating an intention
on the part Of the big packer to locate
a branch of his business ut ST. Paul,
has born fruit, Tut not exactly In the
direction anticipated. When he was
looking mysteIiously around 81. Paul
II was the general belief that his ideas
were centered in securing a location at
or near the Union Stock Yards, but il
now %transpires that what he had in
view was the location ola new stock
yard plant. The location is about five
miles below 81. Paul on the Mississippi
the same side Of the river a. the town,
opposite the location of the Union
stock Yards. The land Necessary to
this new enterprise has been quietly
picked up in small lots u the amount
of about 1900 acres in the aggregate.
The new enterprise Is to be known ~
the Union land Co. and has a capital
stock Of g., ZOO, 00O. F. ID. Hager, n
representative Of the Burlington and
Northern railorsd Is president, which
road Is the holder of the larger amount
oft! e stock. The Chicago, Milwaukee
& ST. Paul road, and Phil Armour
each take 100000 Of stock with an
option on a larger amount. The land
purchased Is of course largely In excess
Of what is required for stock yard pur-
poses, but Is tie intention oftbe com.
pany To induce large manufacturing
intrests to center there. The movement
no doubt originated In u defensive pol
icy on the part Of e., st. p. & NJ. and
the Burlington roads. neither Of W, ich
could gain access TO the Union Stock
Yards at West 81. Paul without build
ing a bridge across the river, or using
the Minnesota & Northwestern bridge.
The initial steps TO secure a location
for stock yards no doubt developed in
to the Land Company, as the purchas-
es were made Mt the very low rates
of from Sl95 to $3.50 per acre. affording
a handsome margin on the deal as
soon rs a live stock market and manu-
featuring center is assured.

How Pretty Married Woman Com
vinced a Detective of Her Identity.
Maud Durnbaugh, who has got back from
one Of his regular bi-monthly dive stock"
trips to Waubaunsee county, is responsible
for the following, though all the arts Of
science reportorial failed to draw from him a
disclosure of the chief characters identity:
ut happened at Lawrence" said Maud
"With me waiting at the station for the train
to get ready for Ottswa was lady, whom
subsequently learned is a fashion leader of
this city. She is married, and learn,about
80 years old, but her beauty is of that fresh
type-that fresh, peach bloom that is full of
warm life-that gives her the appearance of
being ten years younger.
"Well, as we sat there three policemen en-
tered the waiting room and walked through
it, eyeing all the inmates closely They eyed
the lady from Ottawa more closely than any
one else. They walked through the room
again, and then again, and then they con-
suited, and then two of the policemen took
seats on one side Of the lady and one on the
other. At last one of them looked her squarely
in the face and inquired her name, her resi-
dence, her age, her destination and hundred
other questions that policemen and you news
paper fellers only can think of. These in
quiries were all answered frankly. Then the
police held another consultation for about
fifteen minutes. At last one of the blue coats
approached the lady and, in a voice saturated
with John Welruff and authority, demanded:

GALLANT ST. VINCENT.
How He Flew to the Assistance of q
Lady.

So you like to fly to the assistance OF the
young lady in distressl-of course you do
all young men do-Mr. Percy st. Vincent, of
Sioux Falls, does-but not so well as he did
before a recent narrowing experience
Percy st. Vincent is one of our most ex.
pensiye and highly polished society young
men, He has the rocks, too. His father is
president of four banks, treasurer of half a
dozen loan and trust companies, and owns an
interest in corner drug store. Oh, Percy
grades up well socially and financially.
However, that doesn't prevent his being
somewhat gone on Miss Amelia Robinson,
one of our most bewitching society bellies
But, then, that's all right, for Amelia is a
sumner. And her father is well heeled too
But there isn't any need of our beating
around the bush and taking all day to tell a
short story-we aren't paid by the rod for
this kind of stuff.
Last Saturday afternoon Amelia was driv-
ing along the principal street of our city with
her fathers carriage and large blonde
horse. She was alone. The horse saw a
bakers wagon and began to shy. Amelia
gave lady like little scream and said; "Oh,
please, won't somebody help me with this hor-
rid horsen
Percy heard it. He calculated the accident
was worth 800 to him.
He hastily pulled his hat Off and tapped his
vest pattern couple of times with it, as q
token Of recognition, and rushed out.
''It were better for that horse,n thought
Percy st. Vincent to himself, "that he had
never been born. will throw him down and
sit on him!n
Did hes All, hal read on and see--this is
no place to stop and ask questions.
Percy grabbed the horse by tho bit with
both hands and gave him powerful jerk to
starboard. 1t seemed as if that horse kept on
his feet remarkably well.
Percy started to give it to him again when
the horse rose up on his hind legs. Percy
hadn't noticed before that the horse was eight
feet high And he never knew till then that
horse is six times as high when he gets up
on his hind legs es when he stands down in
travelling attitude. Percy noticed all this be-
cause he kept hold of the bit and went up
with the horse. You'd have noticed it too il
you'd been up commanding view of the
postoilice, the Deficit National bank and the
electric light pole.
Percy was fond of scenery and he gazed
down on the opera house and hose tower and
enjoyed himself.
The horse came down after WHILE but he
went up again. He seemed to be the greatest
horse to rise up and rest his chin on tho tele-
graph wires that Percy ever saw.
And part of the time he was shaking his
head, like dog whea he gets hold of cat,
and all the time he was striking at Percy
with his fore feet so that he daren't let go for
fear the horse would charge on him and hit
him, ..#.

THE CAUSE OF FAILURE,
why the Son of a New York Diyin
Left Dakota,


In the spring of 1877 a young man, tine son
Of quite prominent New York divine, ar.
rived i'll Fargo, Oak. He had $4,000 which
his father had given him with which to start
in the west and grow up with the country.
-Four weeks after his arrival he telegraphed
home for money enough to buy return
ticket. 1t was promptly sent and few days
after the young man walked into his fathers
house in New York, finding his paternal rela-
tive in his study preparing sermon. The
old gentleman regarded him anxiously over
his spectacles and seeing that he appeared to
be in good health, said somewhat severely:
"My son, fear that you did not make good
use of your opportunities in the west"
II did the best could, fathern
"Were you robbed or anything of that
kindm
"Oh, no."
"Then | must say emphaticaly that you
have been an unfaithful steward. II had
been in your place l could have done better
with that $1,000 than you did"
II am positive tint you couldn't have" re-
piled the young man firmly. II held royal
sequence, the best hand rver heard of in tie
game, and put all my money on it, but
when it came to the show down big, fat
man across the table Ind five aces and a re
yolver and took the pot. I'd mover played
poker in Dakota before and didn't know any
thing about that hand, so don't see how
could have done any better. Dakota Bell

And Miss Notwithstanding siri--
screaming like Hottentotl
And occasionally hitting the horse with the
whip and pulling on the wrong line.
1t was getting serious. The horse was be-
ginning to turn around. He was getting his
nose higher up in the air every time he eleya-
ted himself. Percy thought he caught little
frightened views of Omaha, Neb., once or
twice
And the men on the sidewalk were all grin
ning-diabolical, heathenish grins. Every
one of them had been mad at first because
Percy hal got ahead Of them in going to her
rescue, but now nothing but grins and an
occasional mocking laugh. And one man
yelled: "fhrow the hoss over yer shoulder
crack him over yer shoulder an break his
back!"
What did Percy hear next7 Great heavens,
it was so-the shrill voice of Miss Amelia:
"For PHYS sake somebody make that fellow
LET my horse alonew
O death, where is thy stingl
just then Il big policeman got Percy by the
shoulders and pulled him away and sat him
down in the gutter. The policeman got into
the buggy to drive for Amelia, and Percy
saw her look up thankfully into the big po-
liceman's eyes, and heard her say: off the
big fool had left my horse alone we would
have been all right. What was lie trying to
do, nyhow"-Dakota Bell.
